"really?"
Shion had no choice but to place her hope on the human in front of her.
"Ok!"
Shidou's answer was very powerful, and it was obvious that he was determined to help Yoshino find the puppet.
"Let's look inside the building!"
Shidou pointed at the building where Yoshino had taken refuge before and gave her some advice.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Shidou."
Yoshino was somewhat grateful to the human in front of her, and took the initiative to follow Shidou into the building.
Where to find it? Where is the thing now?
Shidao actually didn't know what to do, but he had Fraxinus!
He has solid support on the battleship, and as long as the crew members don't help him choose the attack options, they will always be his best helpers.
While Yoshino wasn't paying attention, Shidou put on his headphones.
"Hey, Shidou, you're quite lucky with elves. You can often see elves while wandering around the streets!"
Kotori's teasing voice came from the other end of the headset.
But, for some reason, Shidou felt like he heard a hint of gnashing of teeth.
In fact, this is true. Ever since the incident in the "Dream Garden" yesterday, everyone including Kotori and Fraxinus' impression of him as a herbivore has changed.
"Kotori, do you know where Yoshino's puppet is?"
"The live video footage shows that it appears to be at your teacher's place."
"Teacher Xilin?"
"Yes, the video showed that she took it."
"Should I go to her house and get the things back?"
Shidao was somewhat reluctant, as Teacher Xilin might be the person he least wanted to face.
He was afraid that something like beating up the elves, the warship crashing, or him being shot would happen again...
"Shidou, go! We will do everything we can to support you!"
Qin Li's tone was like Prince Dan sending Jing Ke away, the warrior never returned.
Shidou was also trembling with fear and wanted to take Yoshino with him to ask for something.
goo~
Yoshino's stomach growled.
He felt as if he had received a great decree.
"Yoshino, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat!"
Wiping the sweat off his head, Shidou ignored the objections in his earphones and walked home with Yoshino.
If I die, I'd rather die well-fed!
Chapter 125: Shidou comes to Ariel
After bringing Yoshino to his home, Shidou decided to feed her.
While cooking noodles with chopsticks, Shidou asked Yoshino about the position of the rabbit puppet in her heart.
"Yoshino, what kind of existence is Yoshino to you?"
Shidou was beating eggs and pretending to ask Yoshino a question casually.
"Yoshina is a hero, another me, who comforts me every time I'm scared."
It is obvious that Yoshino is very attracted to Yoshina's personality.
"I will be your hero, Yoshino, let me protect you for the time being!"
After bringing the noodles to Yoshino, Shidou squatted down to comfort her.
Feeling the importance of Yoshina in the other party's heart, Shidou also understood what the prerequisites for sealing the other party were.
"Shidou, did you prepare something to eat? It smells so good!"
The door of Tohka's room opened. She seemed to smell the aroma of noodles and thought it was Shidou apologizing to her, so she opened the door excitedly.
!!!
Opening lightning strike.
Tohka immediately saw Yoshino in the living room, who was holding a large bowl of food that she had already finished eating.
"you!!!"
Tohka's eyes widened. Shidou actually gave the food to her! !?
"I'll fight you!!!"
Yesterday, her time alone with Shidou was interrupted by Kotori and Reine, and today, the food Shidou made was eaten by the little guy in front of her. Tohka felt that she had never suffered such an injustice even when she was fighting against the elves.
Tohka rushed towards Yoshino.
Seeing the other party rushing towards her, Yoshino got a little panicked and turned into wind and snow and disappeared.
"Shidou..."
Tohka looked at him again, Shidou laughed stiffly and pushed his share of noodles over.
……
"Shidao, you are now near Xilin's villa! We have checked and the other party is still in the dream garden. If the other party comes back, we will help to delay him. You must seize the opportunity to sneak in and take out the hand puppet!"
Kotori's voice came from the other end of the headset, obviously to warn Shidou not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"is it?"
Shidou felt relieved and tried to sneak in secretly.
However, when he took the first step, he saw Ariel at the door.
Sleeping at the door, Ariel heard someone coming, but before she saw who it was, she started her performance.
He paced and cried and rolled over three times.
Shidao was stunned. He saw this scene as soon as he arrived at the door.
A person covered in dust, with messy hair, rolled over and cried at the door of the villa. The sadness made Gokawa Shido feel a little bit of empathy.
"that……"
As if he had forgotten that he was here to be a thief, Gokawa Shido wanted to understand what the other party's difficulties were.
"It's you!"
Ariel heard what the other party said and raised her head. The familiar appearance startled Shidao and two words came out of his mouth immediately.
This is the person who was beating Yoshino's other personality!
It seems like she is in cahoots with Teacher Xilin!
Recalling the purpose of his visit, he couldn't help but take a step back.
He was discovered, he was careless!
At this moment, Ariel was also observing the young man in front of her. This man seemed to be from Ratatosk, right?
Ariel stood up from the ground, brushed off the dust on her body, and stroked her chin, thinking.
Chapter 126: Ariel blackmailed Ratatoskr!
As a senior executive of the company, after 30 years of being forced into exploitation in the workplace, Ariel is already familiar with this kind of door-to-door visit.
Coming here must be for something Xilin needs!
As long as she could get the other party to tell her the truth, wouldn't it be a foregone conclusion that Ratatosk would be the one who was made the fool of the money to repair the building?
Looking at the person in front of her, Ariel felt as if she was looking at a mobile vault.
"Young man, are you here to look for Xilin? Is there anything she can help you with?"
Ariel seemed very hospitable. Now Shidou was her guest, her God.
Shidao didn't seem to expect that someone who could hold an elf and beat him up could be so easy to talk to. His mind was still recovering from being caught stealing.
"Well... well, I... I want to ask if Mr. Xilin has taken the puppet of Yoshino?"
Shidou was overwhelmed by the other party's enthusiasm and spoke stutteringly.
Oh~ I see~ Ariel nodded.
"Are you Ratatosk planning to be the guardians of the elves?"
Ariel confirmed with Gokawa Shido one last time.
"Yes!"
Gokawa Shidao's expression seemed extremely determined. It was said that the people in the Far East branch of DEM were actually inclined to protect the elves. At this time, he could only show his determination to the person in front of him in order to get the other party's approval and take back the puppet?
At this moment, Shidou heard Kotori's scolding.
"Idiot! Shidou, don't you know that the people in the Far East branch of DEM are very good at extorting money? It's too stupid to tell others your purpose like that!"
Shidou: ...
Ariel smiled slightly and came up with her first plan to extort money.
"As a guardian, are you responsible for compensating for the damage caused by Yoshino?"
Ariel took out a compensation form from her pocket, on which was written the number and market price of the glass shattered by "Yoshino".
"As the guardian of the elves, you Ratatoskrs, please don't let me look down on you! If you don't let me see your sincerity, I won't entrust Shionai to you!"
Apparently, Ariel had been planning to get some money back from Ratatosk, a long-time victim. She had long since realized how important the puppet was to the elves.
This business is like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai - one is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten. It's a matter of mutual consent. After all, Ratatosk is unlikely to give up the puppet, right?
Kotori once again crushed the lollipop in her mouth and slammed her hands on the console.
"Damn it! Why do they, DEM, always want to rip us off for no reason?"
Obviously, Kotori was very dissatisfied with the blood-sucking behavior of DEM. However, in order to save the elves, which was the purpose of the organization, she had to agree.
"Shidou, promise her!"
The sound coming out of the headphones made Shidao feel both reasonable and unexpected.
It seems that even if Kotori's personality becomes so bad, she can't do anything about the guy in front of her.
However, Kotori's next words seemed like she had heard Shidou's criticism and was taking revenge on him, which made him extremely panicked.
"Shidao, the money for the glass will be deducted from your pocket money, so you have to try your best to lower the price!"
"what?"
Shidou felt that he needed to struggle again.
"Kotori..."
No one responded from the other end of the headset.
Feeling like crying but unable to cry, Shidou looked at Ariel in front of him.
"I think the price can be negotiated..."
Shidao's smile was uglier than his tears. For the sake of his wallet, this was the first time he bargained with others when buying something.
"Yeah! I also think we can discuss the [addition] money..."
In front of Ariel, who is experienced in business, Shidou is like a little lamb.
In the end, after Shidao's various attempts to gain sympathy and Ariel's persuasion, Shidao successfully compensated for the losses with 120% of the price on the bill.
An agreement on repayment was made, and Shidao took out a loan at a young age.
